Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup water
• 8 pieces flour or corn taco shells
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix well, ensuring the beef and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.

Step 5

While the filling simmers, warm the taco shells according to the package instructions (in the oven, microwave, or on a skillet).

Step 6

Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture into the warmed taco shells. Top each taco with shredded cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy these festive Sloppy Joe Confetti Tacos!
